Portion of Park Road in south Charlotte closed until end of November

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — A portion of a busy south Charlotte road will be closed until the end of the month.

Officials said southbound Park Road will be completely closed between Archdale and Sunview drives for stormwater maintenance through Nov. 22.

The northbound side will be down to one lane starting at Sunview Road.

Drivers who spoke to Channel 9 said they hope the work wraps up quickly.

"It's backed up without the closure, but now it's even worse just this small closure they have," neighbor Fred Martin said. "Especially if you come down and look at it, I walk the dog around 8 in the morning. I mean it is backed up."
